Born in Norman, Oklahoma, Taylor Nicole Jones began dancing at the early age of 3 years old. She grew up in the world of competitive studio dance and booked her first professional gig at just age 16, dancing as a showgirl in Nick Cassavetes’ film, “Yellow.” She attended Oklahoma City University's prestigious Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment, where she graduated with a BPA in Dance Performance and trained with industry icons like Jo Rowan (Bolshoi), Brian J. Marcum (Broadway) and Vincent Sandoval (Radio City Christmas Spectacular), among many notable others.

Not long after graduating college, Jones landed a contract with Norwegian Cruise Lines. She has performed and traveled around the world onboard their luxury Regent Seven Seas ships and has gained immeasurable amounts of knowledge and gratitude for the arts & entertainment industry. Her 4 years with the company have included 7 different production shows and many featured moments. Her next adventure will take her to Hawai’i, onboard NCL’s Pride of America. Jones is honored to be apart of the re-launch cast for this ship and will treasure the time she spent workshopping and re-staging the featured show, “Lights! Camera! Music!“ with choreographer, Tiger Martina.

Additional performance credits include Legends in Concert at OWA in Costal, AL and the Mary Kay National Seminar’s in Dallas, TX.

When Taylor is not performing on contract, she is a passionate dance educator. With her type A personality and great attention to detail, Taylor loves to focus on challenging her students and improving their technique. With her drive to always be bettering herself, she hopes to inspire the next generation of young dancers to work hard and always be craving more. In addition, Taylor completed her 500 hour Pilates certification in June 2021 and is a comprehensive Pilates Instructor at Club Pilates.
